1880 New Hampshire Census

-Record
of the Britton family, emigrated from Ireland in mid-1860ís to New Hampshire.
Children of matriarch Bridget Britton (nee Feeney) and her husband, Patrick,
are recorded in this document as being six in number; Martin, Andrew, Mary,
Michael, Celia, and Annie, all born in Ireland. Of the six children four are
married, two are not. There are recorded here seven grandchildren of Bridget
and the late Patrick. At least four more are known. The birth place of Martin
Britton Jr. being New Hampshire tells us that the family had to be in the
United States in the year 1867. In addition Celia Brittonís birthplace is given
as Ireland, like the rest of her siblings. Thus the family must have been in
Ireland in the year 1863. This means the year of immigration was between 1863
and 1867.
